joe johns, cnn, washington. >> thank you, joe johns. so jeff toobin, this is the question. does this texas case raise any new and diinctive questions about this, about affirmative action, or is this one of those second bites at the apple, merely another opportunity for a different supreme court with brand-new justices to kill what some people call reverse discrimination? >> the court could do either of two things in this case. they could treat it as similar to the case from the university of michigan nine years ago, or they could simply just overrule grutter. what makes this case so important is that there was no conflict in theower courts about these cases. the court really reached out and found this case which really indicates that they are interested in overturning what has been the law of the land for the past nine years. >> well, that sounds surprising to a lot of people who don't know that that can happen. most people think this is a vicious battle to the very end, the end being the supreme court, but you're saying this is a new statement as to where we are. and you j

does joe amendola have a good case? >> it's actually a very unusual claim. in most states and the u.s. constitution guarantees you to a right to a speedy trial, not a slow trial. amendola makes -- i think he makes an argument that certainly the court will look at. in a very complex case, you certainly have to give the defense time to prepare. now, his strongest argument is that the second indictment in this case was handed down in december of 2011. they were picking a jury by june, and there was a lot that had gone on in terms of motions in front of the court and trying to interview witnesses, and they were constantly telling the judge, we're not ready, we're not ready. but the case went to trial, and it did go very, very quickly. usually a case like this, you wouldn't expect to see it tried for over a year because of its complexity. so he will get an audience before the court. i really doubt that it will be reversed though on that basis. >> all right. thank you, paul. before we button up this segment, i want to read a statement from penn state's president.
